My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 798 This old man is very bad! The Qin Dynasty is in danger and there are signs of national destruction!
Inside the Longtai Palace, all the court officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Sun Ning whispered in disbelief: "So, you summoned me like that?"

"Is Marquis Wenxin waiting outside the palace gate?"

Ying Po shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, you are too lazy to even pretend!"

Li Si murmured softly with sharp eyes: "Sure enough."

"Marquis Wenxin's return to the court this time is the king's intention."

"In the past, even without the support of the king, Marquis Wenxin almost controlled the government. Now that Marquis Wenxin has the king's trust, I wonder what this court will become!"

When Ying Zheng directly summoned Marquis Wenxin, even generals like Li Xin and Yang Hu who were not familiar with state affairs suddenly realized what was going on.

Wang Wan's so-called abdication was just a cover.

Ying Zheng had already made his decision!
The ministers had different thoughts, but they all had to accept this inevitable fact, and they all turned their eyes to the palace gate.

There, a figure dressed in the formal court dress of a marquis walked up the stairs.

He seemed to have no joy in becoming a prime minister. He just took each step steadily, powerfully and extremely carefully until he crossed the threshold and officially stepped into the hall.

His silver-white beard fluttered in the wind, and his slightly sparse silver-white hair had some difficulty supporting the crown. His face was full of wrinkles and had a few age spots, making it hard to believe that this person was the famous Marquis Wenxin.

Lu Buwei didn't care about the looks of others. He just looked at Ying Zheng, then bowed and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I, Lü Buwei, the Marquis of Wenxin, pay my respects to the King!"

Ying Zheng straightened his back unconsciously, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

Time has been particularly kind to Lu Buwei.

Five years ago, Lu Buwei looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.

But today, Lu Buwei looks very old, just like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

But his back was still straight, and even though his eyes were a little cloudy, he was still firm, persistent and even paranoid!
Seeing Lü Buwei, who was both his teacher and father, enemy and friend, standing in front of him again, Ying Zheng was silent for more than ten breaths before speaking in a cold and hard voice: "No need to be polite, please take a seat."

The eunuch immediately brought a soft couch.

However, this soft couch was no longer placed on the platform as it was five years ago, but was placed under the platform.

Even if this soft couch is placed at the first position under the platform, it is still under the platform!
All the court officials had thoughtful expressions in their eyes, and Lu Buwei was also staring at the couch.

Under Ying Chengjiao's worried gaze, Lu Buwei finally said nothing more, but just bowed and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Lü Buwei sat down, Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "What does Marquis Wenxin think of the current Qin?"

Ying Zheng's voice was still cold and hard, but there was some expectation in his eyes.

I admit that my strategy has some problems, and I need Zhongfu to come out again to achieve greater goals.

But what I have done over the years to govern the country is enough to make me proud, and it is enough to prove that even without my father Zhong, I can still achieve great achievements!
Ying Zheng was waiting for Lu Buwei's praise. Ying Zheng thought that even if Lu Buwei wanted to point out the current shortcomings of the Qin Dynasty, he should at least praise him first.

But Lu Buwei said solemnly: "I see that the Qin Dynasty is in a precarious situation and is about to fall!"

"Every time I think about how I failed to live up to the trust of the late king, I feel worried and sigh day and night!"

All the court officials, including Wei Zhuang and Wei Liao, looked dissatisfied.

Lu Buwei's words can be said to be a complete denial of the efforts and contributions of the Qin monarch and his ministers over the years, and he was even accusing them of bringing the Qin to the brink of national destruction!
The expectation in Ying Zheng's eyes was instantly replaced by anger, and his voice became colder and harder: "Marquis Wenxin's words are alarmist!"

"Our Great Qin was helped by the Earth Dragon and blessed by the fertile soil. Moreover, under the watchful eyes of our ancestors, we occupied Handan and conquered the State of Zhao, fulfilling the wishes of our ancestors."

"Even if heaven and earth were to congratulate our Great Qin, how dare Marquis Wenxin say that our Great Qin would perish!"

Lü Buwei refuted mercilessly: "I think that the king and all the ministers in the court have misunderstood a fact."

"The thick earth has indeed bestowed blessings, and the earth dragons are indeed helping our Qin army defeat the enemy."

"But the one whom Hou Tu loves is not Qin, but Chang'an Jun!"

"The one that the Earth Dragon is helping is not Qin, but Lord Chang'an!"

"The reason why Great Qin was blessed with fertile soil and assisted by earth dragons is because Chang'an Jun was employed by Qin, not because Great Qin was favored by heaven and earth!"

"Otherwise, why is it that only Lord Chang'an in my Great Qin has the ability to communicate with heaven and earth and drive earth dragons, while all the priests and witches in the Fengchang Yamen are unable to do so!"

Faced with Lu Buwei's words, Ying Zheng and all the court officials were speechless.

But Ying Chengjiao was a little panicked.

However, Lü Buwei looked at Ying Le and asked, "Feng Chang Le, have the people in the Feng Chang Yamen received any instructions from heaven and earth in recent years?"

Ying Le glanced at Ying Zheng and had to bow and say, "No."

If Ying Chengjiao hadn't been there, Ying Le might have still made up some nonsense.

But Ying Chengjiao happened to be in the court, so how could Ying Le dare to speak nonsense in the name of heaven and earth?
Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever received guidance from the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty?"

Ying Zheng had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Lü Buwei didn't get a response and didn't care. He just bowed and said, "From this, it can be seen that this blessing of fertile land has nothing to do with the Qin Dynasty, the king, or the ministers in the court."

"The blessing of fertile land is not enough to prove that our Great Qin is prosperous, and it is even less enough to prove that our Great Qin is favored by heaven and earth!"

Ying Zheng is speechless!

Ying Chengjiao was on pins and needles! Ying Le could only step forward and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the heaven and earth say: Chi Tian is dead, Xuan Tian should be established, the year is Wu Chen, and the world will be auspicious!"

"This is enough to prove that our Great Qin is favored by heaven and earth!"

Lü Buwei said calmly, "As I just said, the one favored by heaven and earth is Lord Chang'an, not Qin."

"My Great Qin has finally found Lord Chang'an, and that is when destiny favors us!"

"Only after we obtain Lord Chang'an can we establish the Xuantian Dynasty!"

Lu Buwei directly separated the blessing of heaven and earth from the efforts of the Qin monarch and his ministers, and attributed all the miracles of heaven and earth to Ying Chengjiao alone.

Ying Chengjiao couldn't hold it in any longer: "Marquis Wenxin, you can't say that!"

"The one favored by heaven and earth is the king, not me!"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if I did win the favor of heaven and earth for a few minutes, it's just because of the king's great fortune. I'm just a worker!"

"I have treated Marquis Wenxin well. The clothes he is wearing now were woven by the women in my house!"

"How dare Marquis Wenxin slander my innocence like this!"

"I am innocent!"

Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but panic.

Those who are favored by heaven and earth are the ones destined by heaven.

The one to whom the Mandate of Heaven is bestowed is the Son of Heaven!
Ying Zheng was still alive and well, but Lu Buwei suddenly jumped out and said that the person loved by heaven and earth was Ying Chengjiao, not Ying Zheng.

Isn't this just sowing discord?
After saying that, Ying Chengjiao glared at Lu Buwei fiercely, and then looked at Ying Zheng eagerly.

Brother, this old man is very bad, you must not trust him!

Ying Le hurriedly bowed and said, "I think what Marquis Wenxin said makes sense!"

"Chang'an Jun is definitely favored by heaven and earth, but the king is even more favored by heaven and earth!"

"If not for this, how could we get the help of Lord Chang'an?"

"The king governs the people, and the witch communicates with heaven and earth. This is the ritual of the Shang Dynasty!"

Ying Chengjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Ying Le.

You, a weirdo with a brain, finally said something fair for me!

Ying Zheng laughed out loud and said, "What Feng Chang said is very true!"

"My brother is truly favored by heaven and earth, and is favored by the late king."

"Of course, I have the help and guidance of my brother, the prince. Isn't that enough to prove that I am also favored by heaven and earth?"

Then Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao and scolded him with a smile: "Why do you act like that, my brother?"

"Could it be that my brother wants me to take care of the sacrificial ceremony while I am busy with government affairs?"

Ying Chengjiao shuddered and hurriedly cupped his hands: "I have absolutely no such intention!"

Brother, please stay away from these weird things!
Ying Zheng laughed heartily: "How lucky I am to have a brother bestowed by heaven!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's heartfelt laughter, Lu Buwei finally smiled as well.

Lu Buwei has been away from the court for five years.

These five years were the first five years of Ying Zheng's personal rule, the five years when Ying Zheng transformed from a teenager to a king, and the five years when the Qin Dynasty expanded wildly.

During these five years, Lu Buwei only met Ying Zheng a few times, and most of the time he could only judge Ying Zheng's temperament through information and government decrees.

So when Lu Buwei entered the court again, he took the lead in throwing a test at Ying Zheng.

Now that the Qin Dynasty has conquered 70% of the world's territory, Ying Chengjiao is in fact no longer a necessity for Ying Zheng. Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others can replace Ying Chengjiao to complete the next war. Even if their abilities are not as good as Ying Chengjiao, they can use the powerful national strength to help the Qin Dynasty defeat the final enemy.

Ying Chengjiao, who helped the Qin Dynasty seize most of the territory, was no longer a man of great merit. His reputation as a great wizard spread throughout the world would make it impossible for almost all kings to sit on the throne.

Lu Buwei urgently wanted to know, in this situation, would Ying Zheng, who was once willing to break up with Lu Buwei in order to protect Ying Chengjiao, develop murderous intentions because of Ying Chengjiao's threats?
Will Ying Zheng, who once valued family affection, become heartless under the influence of power?

If Ying Zheng changed, Lu Buwei would arrange his family affairs before risking his life to join the game!
If Ying Zheng had not changed, Lu Buwei's move would have helped Ying Chengjiao eliminate a hidden danger and allowed Ying Chengjiao to live a more stable life!

Fortunately, Ying Zheng gave an answer that was enough to reassure Lu Buwei.

The majestic figure on the high platform gradually overlapped with the figure who argued with him for Ying Chengjiao six years ago.

Lü Buwei could not help but stand up and bow: "Congratulations to the King!"

Looking at Lü Buwei's loving eyes, Ying Zheng understood Lü Buwei's intentions.

This congratulation is not for the country, but only for Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng could not help but feel a warm current and joy rising in his heart, and his voice became a little gentler: "Wen Xin Hou, are you willing to return to the court to help me accomplish my great cause?"

Lü Buwei bowed and said, "That is what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it!"

The smile on Ying Zheng's face couldn't help but become brighter.

Then Ying Zheng heard Lü Buwei continue to say: "After all, the current Qin is in danger and there are signs of national destruction!"

Ying Zheng: (￣ー￣)
You're not done yet, are you? !
